Heads up, fam! Venezuela just called out a squad of U.S. combat jets that popped up around 75 km off its Caribbean coast last week. 🚨 Foreign Minister Yvan Gil slammed the move as an "illegal incursion" that flouts international rules, including the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
He warns that such maneuvers threaten national sovereignty and could put civilian aviation at risk—imagine sudden radar alerts disrupting flights. 🛫⚠️
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López didn’t hold back either, decrying "military harassment" from Washington and bluntly telling the U.S.: “Don’t make that mistake.” 🛑
Geopolitics on the high seas often feels like a global game of chess—similar stand-offs around strategic waterways near Malaysia and the Philippines remind us in ASEAN how much airspace and borders matter. 🌏
Whether you’re tracking flights on your favourite radar app or catching global headlines during your morning scroll, stay tuned—this high-stakes showdown is far from over. 🕵️✈️
